An Evening with Lyle Lovett and John Hiatt

Two of the greatest Americana legends Lyle Lovett and John
Hiatt to play the Southern Alberta Jubilee Auditorium on
March 2, 2017. Two tradition shattering singer-songwriters
with no qualms about levelling barricades and they are all
about the music. "While it's difficult to explain exactly
what you're going to get listening to these distinct
American voices, it ain't gonna be dull."

Lyle Lovett
Lyle Pearce Lovett is an American roots/country singer-
songwriter and actor. Active since 1980, he has recorded
thirteen albums and released 25 singles to date, including
his highest entry, the number 10 chart hit on the U.S.
Billboard Hot Country chart, "Cowboy Man".

Lovett has won four Grammy Awards, including Best Male
Country Vocal Performance and Best Country Album. His CD,
"It's Not Big It's Large" was released in 2007, where it
debuted and peaked at number 2 on the Top Country Albums
chart.

In 1989, he won a Grammy for Best Male Vocalist for the
album Lyle Lovett and His Large Band. Joshua Judges Ruth,
his second Grammy win, was released in 1992 and was his
first album recorded in California. He won his next Grammy
for his 1993 duet with Al Green, Funny How Time Slips Away
and yet again, for 1994's Blues for Dixie, recorded as a
tribute to Texas swing pioneer Bob Wills.

John Hiatt
John Hiatt's songs have been recorded by artists as diverse
as Bob Dylan, Bonnie Raitt ("Thing Called Love"), Emmylou
Harris, Iggy Pop, Rosanne Cash (#1 country hit, "The Way We
Make A Broken Heart"), the Jeff Healey Band ("Angel Eyes"),
and even the cartoon bear band of Disney's film, The
Country Bears. He earned a Grammy nomination for Crossing
Muddy Waters, while B.B. King and Eric Clapton shared a
Grammy for their album Riding With The King, the title
track from which was a Hiatt composition. Hiatt has
received his own star on Nashville's Walk of Fame, the
Americana Music Association's Lifetime Achievement Award
for Songwriting, has been inducted into the Nashville
Songwriters Hall of Fame and was saluted at the Indiana
Governor's Arts Awards.

The rock-country-blues fusion album Bring The Family -
performed with Ry Cooder, Nick Lowe, and Jim Keltner - was
Hiatt's first charted effort, and he was subsequently named
Best Male Vocalist in Rolling Stone's annual Critics Poll.
In the last few years Hiatt has released Same Old Man, The
Open Road, Dirty Jeans & Mudslide Hymns and Mystic Pinball
all to critical acclaim as All Music Guide declares "And
for a guy who has cranked out four studio albums in five
years, Hiatt is having a great run as a songwriter…"
